Monitor Calibration and Gamma Corrected Lookup Tables

[Howard]

Let me start with the question and then say why I have asked it. Does
the ATI Radion 9800 PRO support gamma corrected lookup tables?

The reason I ask is that I am considering purchase of this card and I
do graphics work and have my monitor color calibrated using a
Colorvision Spyder. On the Pantone (Spyder) website it says that
Radion All-In-Wonder cards will not work with this calibration device,
the reason being that the All-In-Wonder cards do not support gamma
corrected lookup tables. There are also various references to this on
several web postings and forums. When I called Pantone, the tech
support guy said this was true but that he thought the
non-ALL-In-Wonder series cards support the gamma corrected lookup
tables, though he was not 100% certain and he suggested I call
ColorVision (a Pantone subsidiary) tech support to be certain. Now,
the tech guy at Colorvision said that the lack of support for gamma
corrected look up tables in the All-In-One series was true, but only
refered to the older cards in that series and that to the best of his
knowledge all new ATI cards support gamma corrected lookup
tables.....so does anyone know for certain if the Radion 9800 PRO
supports the lookup tables?
Thanks.
